Much appreciated take it you are not a lover of the Spengles.
How's your spesh build going?

One of the two "final" missing pieces just arrived today, with the other due on Wednesday.

So it's nearly time to cable up and ride off into the sunset...

What I mean is: It's nearly time to start looking for parts for the next build!

As for the Spengles: Yeah, but that's because I'm simple minded and like simple things.

They've obviously very nice on the bike in question!

Please thanks Pete

Found one pair but they are open ended, and I'd say not good enough for your build. I'm sure I have a better set somewhere - but I just don't know where! Currently sorting my hoard and trying to compile an inventory, so if they turn up I'll let you know.

Really like this - I’ve just seen it now updated and it looks superb! Everything is very tasteful and elegant and yes I really like the Spengle!!!
